    LED headlights and DRLs, not what I expected

    Normal. DRLs are the headlights. I believe the brightness is slightly reduced though. I was bummed about this. I think it would look nicer with just the LED parking lights as DRLs.

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    Thanks but that’s not the issue. I’m the only one who has swapped wheels. I use a torque wrench. Over torquing causing these issues is more from the days when the hub and rotor were one piece.

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    It’s 100% an uneven distribution of pad material on the rotor(like 90% of the claims of “warped “rotors). I can see and feel it. They’re past being able to resolve with additional bedding. I could find a shop with a machine to turn them down while on the vehicle, but I’d rather replace...

    Cabin noise reduced in 2020s?

    This is interesting. I would love to find where this is documented. I have a 19 GT-R that was built later 2018. my wife just got a 20 GT that was built in July 2020. There is a noticeable difference between the 2 when closing the front doors. The 20 is more solid and has less of a hollow...

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    Per my original post, this has been a common issue with every new Mazda I’ve owned. Perhaps it’s because I often drive on mountain access roads in the winter. But again, the issue never returns after I replace the pads and rotors. Another reason for the preference to do my own brake work. No...

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation on the part numbers. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it’s just not worth it for me to bother with the dealership. I’d rather pay the $175 on parts and spend the 2 hours instead of disagreeing with a service writer who doesn’t know what they’re talking...

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    I don’t disagree, but it’s a wear item and not covered. I went through this with my 16. It had a little over 20k at the time. The dealer was not willing to help. I’ve owned 3 brand new mazdas now and they’ve all had this to some level by 20k. my guess is lack of lubrication. I’ll be cleaning...

    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    Can anyone confirm if the 2016-2020 CX-9s have the same front brakes as the turbo CX-5s? At only 18k the steering wheel vibration is to a point where I need to replace the pads and rotors on my 19 GT-r. I’ve been using Akebono for years with great results. Their site doesn’t list an option for...

    CS or RB Axle Back with Draw-Tite hitch

    That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Those look great. I was worried from the other pictures you posted that the inside upper edge of the tips extends past the bumper. Appear to be flush. When did you purchase that? RB said at one point they had 2 options, one for the 1st gen and...

    CS or RB Axle Back with Draw-Tite hitch

    Possibly. I’ll get under there this weekend and take a couple measurements and see what might help. I’m still trying to decide if I like the placement of the RB tips. Do you have any pics from behind the car at eye level? I’m thinking they might stick out too much for me. Not to say thats bad...

    CS or RB Axle Back with Draw-Tite hitch

    Anyone know if the CorkSport or Racing Beat axle back exhausts will work on a 2017+ with a class 2 draw-tite hitch? RB confirmed theirs works with the Curt. The 2 hitch brands have different designs though. The curt mounts to the side of the frame and the draw-tite mounts to the bottom. Thanks

    There is an attach files button located on the bottom of the reply window. I’m not sure if it supports video and audio files though.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Turbo muffler development @ Racing Beat

    Looks great. I’m considering getting this for my GTR. Any chance you could post those videos? Thanks!

    Nice! Any chance you could record a video? I like that the RB is an actual muffler vs the CS with 2 resonators. I don’t want anything too loud. I’m also not sure the CS would fit with the drawtite hitch. RB notes that theirs works with a factory hitch. I do prefer the CS tips though.

    I actually did start it without the muffler when I installed my hitch. The turbo definitely quiets things down. It was a cold start and still wasn’t bad. I should have taken it for a ride to hear it under a load.

    New member, just saying hi

    Welcome! I also have a 19 GT-R How loud is the exhaust inside of the car? I’ve had my eye on the corksport. Without in car videos I’m hesitant. I also think corksport should have a vid comparing stock to theirs from behind the car pulling away. It’s my family hauler, so I’m not trying to...

    2016.5 CX-5 transmission delay from reverse to drive when cold

    Yeah but if the transmission were to fail within the 100k it wouldn’t be from lack of maintenance. There is no scheduled maintenance for this transmission. I don’t disagree otherwise.

    2016.5 CX-5 transmission delay from reverse to drive when cold

    True. But who’s to say this is a problem? My wife hasn’t said anything about a behavior change. I’d have to leave it with them over night and I’m not sure it’s worth it. Local dealer is such a joke. Brought my 19 there for the second gear shift flair and said multiple times it needs to well...

    2013~2016 Need CX-5 help with rear brake change

    Are you sure it’s in maintenance mode? Any chance you put it into and then back out of maintenance mode after you took everything apart? I’m sure taking it out of maintenance mode while disassembled would cause problems.
